Crumple Piece Of Paper

Sometimes, life is a crumpled piece of paper.

Crumple Piece Of Paper

You twist my words as I twist my arms,
into the fetal position,
here I go,
trying to hide myself from the world that scares me.
I try to get up,
but the harder I try, the harder it is.
It's as though I am handcuffed into this position.

I am a prisoner to fate.

My name is engraved onto a tombstone where my body will be laid.

The memories of my life are being written down on crumpled pieces of paper.
I am those pieces of paper that
have been crumpled up and thrown to the side.
As someone tries to straighten me up they should notice I am too wrinkled to even try to fix.
I have tears and rips all along my body and I have tried to fix them my whole life, but to this day I can never be a piece of paper that a book report can be written on.
I am the pieces of paper with regret and sadness thrown into the fire of useless people.
I am the dreams that died along with my spirit.
I have tried so hard to start over and over again.
I want to rise from the ashes and renew myself.
And for once I feel I have been given the chance to revive.
I have put myself piece by piece together and there are some pieces still missing and being put into place and thats okay because life was not a jigsaw puzzle to be finished but a painting to be made.
this masterpiece will have darkness but it will also have light.
I believe that we are the painters of our life and we can make it as dark and sad as we want
or as happy and bright as we want.
I will try to paint as much bright and happy colors as I want,
but to make a beautiful masterpiece you have to have contrast so I will accept,
not happily, but willingly
those bad days and moments.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
